A gene involved in the production of medium-chain α-olefins was identified in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002. The gene encodes a large multidomain protein with homology to type I polyketide synthases, suggesting a route for hydrocarbon biosynthesis from fatty acids via an elongation decarboxylation mechanism.
在蓝藻集胞藻 PCC 7002 中鉴定出一种参与中链 α-烯烃生产的基因。该基因编码一种与 I 型聚酮合酶具有同源性的大型多结构域蛋白,表明了通过延伸脱羧机制从脂肪酸合成碳氢化合物的途径。
